Thanks for the reply though
the cams and crank are keyed and will rotate correctly without their retaining bolts installed (not at high rpm)
the belt is obviously broken or the crank timing driven gear is stripped off. rotating the engine is probably mashing any valves that are stuck open from the first stall. fact remains the belt is broken, u probably have internal head damage and either way the motor needs to come out or at least pop the lower timing cover and face the inevitable... and then remove your head and get the valves and guides changed
